UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

YVILLIAM H. CLARK AND FRANK 1V. COLLINS, OF CORTLAND, NEY YORK.

STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 459,183, dated September 8,1891.

Application tiled June 23,1890. Renewed July 29, 1891. Serial No. 401,129. (No modeh) T0 all whom iv' ntcty concern/.-

Be it known that we, WILLIAM II. CLARK and FRANK 1V. COLLINS, residing at Cortland, in the county of Cortland and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the fol lowing is a speciication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to magazinestoves, especially heating-stoves.

The object of the invention is to improve the construction of the magazine and conneo tions.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a central vcrtical section of the upper portion of a magazine-stove of the kind known as ventilatin gstoves. Fig. is a side elevation of magazine detached. Fig. 3 is a plan of top section of stove, showing magazine applied. Fig. 4 is a section of the top plate of stove.

The numeral 1 indicates the outer casing or shell of a stove. The stove-pipe 2 has an inner flue or foul-air pipe 3 of the character shown in our patent, 170.430,023, of June 24, 1890. The upper part of the stove has a heated-air chamber AL, which receives hot air through pipes G. Hot air escapes from this chamber through opening 5 in the room.

The magazine or reservoir 7 is a hollow tapering vessel with a top iiange 8, extending outwardly. This flan ge 8 is supported on lugs 9, which extend inward from the side plates of the top section 10 of the stove. The magazine 7 is preferably of elliptical shape at its upper end and the top section 10 of the stove is practically rectangular. The Inagazine-ange 8 will rest on the lugs 9, which are about central of the plane sides of the stove. The corners of the top section will thus have rectangular passages .l2 over the top of the magazine.

The top plate 13 of the stove has a central funnel 14, extending down into the maga zine, and provided with a cover 15. This cover is below the top ot the magazine. Consequently the gases rising in the magazine will tend to rise above the lower portion ot funnel 14 and will pass over the top of the magazine 7 and down passages 12 at the corners of the stove to the combustion-chamber 20, Where the gases will be burned. The top plate 13 is secured to the top section of the stove by rods 17, passing down between the magazine 7 and the stove-casing 10. The joint between the top plate 13 and the top sec tion or casing 10 of the stove is made tight by putty. Thus the escape of gas is prevented.

The stove may have any usual cover 1S, provided with an urn or ornamental finish 19.

As the magazine '7 when once in the stove cannot be removed because of the top plate 13, and as the bottom of the magazine is likely to burn out long before the body portion, the end of the magazine is provided with a removable iire-ring 21, which has an outwardlyextending broken flange or pair of ears 221 The magazine '7 has a flange 23 at its lower end, which extends outward, then down, and then turns in, forming a sort of angular hook out away at two or more points to pass the ears vof the fire-ring. The ears of the nre-ring are passed through the cut-away openings in the flange 23 and the ring is then turned partway round, when the lire-ring is securely locked to the magazine by the iianges or ears 22 of the iire-ring entering above the inturned hooks of the magazine. The advantages of this construction are that the sunken fum nel in the top plate of the stove serves both as a funnel and a guide to the gases. The magazine may be permanent in the stove, and yet that part which is liable to wear or burn out can be readily replaced. The top joint of the stove, where gases are most liable to escape, can be permanently packed, and the entire construction is strong and convenient.

What I claim isab 1. In a magazine-stove, the top plate of the stove having a central funnel integral therewith and extending down into the magazine, a cover in said funnel below the top of the magazine, and a magazine in a separate piece from the funnel and extending up In testimony whereof we afx our signatures outside the same and suitably supported on in presence of two witnesses. the stove, substantially as described.
